I’ve started using WebFlow for my freelance clients and it’s been a nightmare. I’ve used other similar tools such as WordPress and Drupal and in my experience those tools lower both my flexibility and productivity. Also if I need something a bit more complex I’m going to have to end up writing PHP or JS code anyways which takes even more time.
For me personally I use Tailwind more for the responsive styles so I save time by not having to write tons of media queries. I can also configure Tailwind to my liking which adds to its flexibility.

Help me understand.
If someone doesn't want to write pure CSS, why would they use Tailwind CSS?
Why don't they just use a no-code tool like Webflow to build a complex website?
Because I feel like Tailwind CSS helps you work 10% faster, but it reduces your flexibility with maybe 60%.

And yes, I know writing code feels cool, we all like to feel like hackers, typing away in our dark terminals.
I'm just trying to understand from a productivity point of view.
